I'm on the fence-help push me to a side---

[Marci Stein]

Here's the deal--- accepted offer for 42,500 in upstate ny. Buy and hold ---

   Cozy (small ) 3 bedrm, 1 bath,  basement:

Pros:         * Rent will be almost 2% of PP ($ 750-800 )

                  *Recent upgrades include: siding, windows, furnace,floors, kitchen appic.

                   all in past 7 years

                   * B or B-  area

Cons:        *Corner lot (?)

                * Not the most attractive block in the hood due to 4 of 7 homes being 

            seasonal cabins,  (incl 2 abandoned ones)

            * Will be hard to re-sell due to the way it looks (modern-- not cute cabin , rustic look is what buyers in that area want).

Thoughts very appreciated!
